APB on the suspect “Small, gun metal black, holds several cartridges, safety lock, trigger... if seen do not approach, guns are armed and dangerous”

Dunno. I'm in Tulsa (where the suspect died) and it's all over the local news. Why wouldn't they have it on the news?
Catoosa police located the suspect, who sped off, hit another car, and then crashed against the center barrier. The car burst into flames. Police said no one got out of the car.
Officers heard what sounded like two gunshots after the crash. The woman had a gunshot wound and is in critical condition. The driver died on the scene.

This comes down to risk-minimization vs elimination. In investing, you lower your risk of loss or volatility by spreading your eggs across several baskets. However, one risk you cannot diversity away is the "systematic risk" or the risk inherent in the system...call it market risk or whatever, the basic reality is some baseline level of risk will ALWAYS exist, and you can't avoid it.

The same applies to America, her freedoms, and insane acts of violence.
Laws that support, life, liberty, and property are right and proper. Many laws act as a deterrent and will stop people on the margin from doing bad things...this is akin to diversifying away the non-systematic risk. Thus laws criminizing murder, are right and proper.
However, in a nation like America where freedom reigns and the individual trumps the collective, the risk of a maniac going on a killing spree like in this story, is Undiversifiable. It is idiosyncratic.
The adults in the room understand on some baseline level, in a relatively free society of 330MM people who are LARGELY civilized, you'll ALWAYS have a few pathological maniacs who will shoot up a club, derail a train, etc.
Thus, random acts of violence, are the Undiversifiable/systematic risk of a free society.
Sure, maybe some laws can help, like liberal application of the 2nd Amendment and concealed carry. But uncivilized folks will act uncivilized.
The political class and purveyors of Authority Bias want you to think the idiosyncratic risk of a free sociey CAN be eliminated, via shredding civil liberties, e.g., we can eliminate “gun nuts” by welding a GoPro to the heads of 330MM people with central monitoring in DC. AND EVEN THEN that wouldn't be perfect...after all, people in jail still get drugs and weapons.
You can't stomp out ALL bad folks. THAT is the ugly truth.

They are putting the Flock camera system everywhere now.
He spent all this time with guns, maybe a little performance driving practice would have helped too.

Black guy murders 4 Hispanics, no money or political advantage in that, so it will disappear.

There has to have been a personal motive. So the perp was black, but he loved guns!

Interesting! Last night I watched an MGM short Souvenirs of Death (1948)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0143893/
I remember lots of cop shows in the 1970s whose major theme was a man buys a handgun, gun escapes and goes on a killing spree till captured and melted down into a sewer cover.
